Default is anyone else...

getting sick? It seems to be going around jersey like wildfire, this flu-like cold. Sore scratchy throat that feels like there's a lump in there, fever, hot & cold, sneezy and downright misreable.

Wondering if anyone else has it, and how they are dealing with getting rid of it, since im weary about poppin OTC meds with my lil pouch. Or can you mom/dad's recommend what to do? Mom is away for a few days w/Grandma and i dont need to worry her with this.

Thanks my TT fam. <3
xox

sick fetus.

I had the flu 2 weeks ago...it was horrid. All I could really do was drink Propel and G2 and eat egg flour soup.... took some tylenol for my fever

Now last week (still at the end of it) have a cold. Not much to do about it but drink lots of water...


it sure is a bummer.

My father had something like that about a week or two ago. It took a long time to get rid of it.

I've got it right now. I called my surgeon's office and they recommended either tylenol cold or those theraflu strips... like listerine strips, but cold medicine.

not sick down this way. DAMN! now that i've said it, we're bound to get it!

seriously, since i've had surgery, take all my vits, get out in the sunshine more, eat & drink better, etc., it's not often that i catch a bug.

DAMN! there i go again.

knock on wood.
